the ones you have listed should work just fine for you. honestly, if you are only going to be running 5.5psi i wouldnt even worry about running stock plugs.

the 7 heat rang is a good plug for boost or nos . the gap is correct also.

I've got the NGK 1 step colder at the stock gap. 7psi daily, works great for me.

it's definately a good idea to run 2 steps colder. if you run 1 step, and that's not enough - look out . if you run 2, and that's too much - you'll just have a fouled plug. 2 steps colder is the way to go.

Use the 7 heat range, gap it to .030 . The reason you don't just get the bcpr7es-8 is because they take longer to get. Instead most ppl just get the -11 ones and gap them to .030-.032

bkr7e-11's have less of a projected nose and allow for a bit of a wider gap...
